What do the stars mean?

Well, the others explained the star. You know another way to learn lots of stuff about myLot? The myLot FAQ! It's all in that little tab at the far right above the discussion tabs. It's also really important to read the FAQ because it will keep you from doing things that could get your posts deleted or your account banned. You can also use the search bar at the top of the page so search for past discussions on your desired topic. Good Luck.

something i've wondered but was afraid to ask. it seems every time its brought up the convo is deleted. hhhmmm.

You get a star on your 100th post. The number is your rating, based on what people have been rating your posts, either plus or minus next to all the discussions. The fact that you came in with a 9 is GOOD! It goes from 1 to 10.

Well if you talking about the stars on Mylot then I can answer that ha ha but, yeah the stars are just reputation of mylot that shows mylotters and others your rep or rating on mylot. The higher the rating the better. I the rating goes up to 1-10. You Are rated by a [+] plus or a [-] minus. You Are rated by your discussions and comments and photos and responses, So yeah make sure that you type good and do good things on mylot. Thats if you want a good reputation on mylot so yeah. Also The star as nothing to do with your earnings some people wonder that and it has nothing to do with you and your earnings so your rated a 9 if you was rated a 10 the next day thats awesome but it wont make any changes on how you earn or how much you can earn. the same goes for if your rating goes down it wont have to do anything with your earnings on mylot. So yeah take care and hopefully I was able to help you and my information is at good use ha ha well yeah take care and keep posting Happy Mylotting ^_^ Payout
